Question

helppppp....
..A teacher is buying T-shirts for her algebra class.


- Long-sleeve T-shirts (x) cost $16 each.
- Short-sleeve T-shirts (y) cost $10 each.

The teacher wants to buy at least 24 T-shirts, and she wants to spend no more than $300 in all. Which system of inequalities represents this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

$240\leq 10x+16y\leq 300$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let short-sleeve be x and long-sleeve be y

So, the least amount she could spend buying at least 24 shirts is $240 because the cheapest shirt is $10/shirt. The max amount is already given.

$240\leq 10x+16y\leq 300$
